The Faith of the Foreigners

Reading from The Gospel According Matthew 2:1-12 (NLT) ~Visitors from the East~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The visitor’s direct question of “where is the newborn king?”. Possible mixed feelings of the coming of the Messiah. Forced to give information about their hope when their hope is vulnerable. The encouragement and resources this visit provided Mary and Joseph. Everything lined up with what scripture said but was also so different from what the people expected.
